India is one of the leaders in sustainable development and clean energy. With the Hon PM Narendra Modi-led government’s reform-oriented, environment-friendly policies, the country has time & again shown that sound environmental policies can pave the way to a sound economy.

At the UN Climate Change Conference COP26 in 2021, PM Shri Narendra Modi announced the ‘LiFE’, a mission to bring individual behavioural change at the forefront of the global climate action narrative. LIFE or Lifestyle for Environment along with the ‘Pro Planet People’ movement, aims to strengthen the efforts to overcome climate change.

LiFE will replace the prevailing 'use-and-throw’ thinking with an environmentally conscious lifestyle. The Mission is to create a global community of ‘Pro-Planet People’ (P3), who with their shared commitment will adopt and promote environmentally friendly lifestyles.

Individual Efforts Are Key to Climate Commitment

India's traditional knowledge strongly positions it to lead the narrative of addressing climate change. Like many other mass movements, LiFE aims to inspire climate action based on the mantra of ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas’.

MyGov invites you to share your ideas and suggestions on how to adapt to an environmentally conscious lifestyle.

Many farmers choose to plant crops in one field at all times and never leave it barren; also, this may cause unintended consequences. The farmer can achieve his goals of preventing soil erosion, enhancing soil quality and also suppressing the growth of weeds through plant cover crops like clover or oats. The cover crop’s use also reduces the need for chemicals like fertilisers.

Permaculture is a food production system designed for smart farming to reduce waste of resources and increase production efficiency. Also, these design techniques consist of growing grain without tillage, herb and plant spirals, keyhole and mandala gardens, hooglyculture garden beds, sheet mulching, each plant serving multiple purposes.

Crop rotation is the most preferable technique of sustainable agriculture. However, its purpose is to avoid the consequences of planting the same crop in the same soil for consecutive years. This helps to combat pest problems, as many pests prefer specific crops. In addition, r3otation breaks the insect’s reproductive cycle. During rotation, farmers can plant certain crops that supplement the plant’s nutrients. Rotation breaks the reproduction cycles of pests. During rotation, farmers can plant certain crops, which replenish plant nutrients. However, these sustainable crops minimise the need for chemical fertilisers.

Sustainable agriculture practitioners seek to integrate three main goals into their work: a healthy environment, economic profitability, and social and economic equity.  Food processors, distributors, producers, retailers, consumers and waste managers can play a role in ensuring a sustainable agricultural system. In addition, it is helpful in reducing greenhouse gas emission and conserving energy.

The pandemic showed that human interventions in natural processes can have disastrous consequences; we should now scale up natural-positive food systems that would simultaneously promote crop, soil and human health.

The people of India suffer enormously from hunger and food insecurity. India’s weak and inefficient agricultural and food storage and distribution systems, coupled with devastating years of low rain often leads Indian farmers into bad health, hunger, and poverty. However, farmers in India have started a movement towards a more efficient, sustainable, and eco-friendly farming techniques that fight against poverty and hunger. Using these sustainable techniques means that farmers have fewer costs upfront, ensuring that they are able to make higher profits and worry less about having to take loans or to pay off debts. Sustainable farming in India reduces poverty, fights hunger, and changes lives.

A key aspect of Zero Budget Natural Farming is the use of the fermented microbial culture Jeevamrutha (a mixture of water, cow urine, cow dung, flour, soil, and brown sugar) on soil. Jeevanmrutha acts as a catalyst in promoting earthworm and microorganism activity within the soil, while also providing the soil with additional nutrients. Using natural products instead of taking out loans to spend on chemicals allows for farmers to save money, providing them with more financial stability and thus improving their quality of life.
